The diminutive Pan Am actress somehow realised that she could fit in her fridge and... BANG! - a social network selfie trend was born

Starting a new trend is never easy but for Christina Ricci it's as easy as sitting in a fridge - literally.

The tiny Adams Family actress decided that planking was a little bit too 2011 for someone of her status and so - and we're not entirely sure what her thought process was - decided to put her ENTIRE BODY in her fridge.

Which she does, while doing her best red carpet pose - if the red carpet involved fridges and some minor knicker-flashing, that is.

It seems the plucky Sleepy Hollow actress can fit in the fridge easily enough but finding a pose that doesn't completely expose her undercrackers is a a slightly tougher challenge.

"Yes, pants would have been more appropriate fitting-into-fridge attire," she wrote alongside the photo. "But, hey, I saw my opportunity and I took it."

Luckily for Christina, her bizarre behaviour has sparked a bit of a trend which fans have dubbed #Riccing.

Speaking about her unusually use of household appliances on Live With Kelly and Michael, the actress described her behaviour as 'art'.

"It does actually hurt sometimes, but if it's worth it to you. It's art," she explained.
